Taylor Fritz vs Jaume Munar prediction

Taylor Fritz will hope to maintain a perfect record against Jaume Munar. 

The American leads the match-up 2-0, although both matches have surprisingly gone three on hardcourts with three tie-breaks along the way. 

Fritz was highly competitive at the Laver Cup without much reward and will be eager to avoid falling further down the rankings after slipping out of the top ten. 

The American was a runner-up here last year so has points to defend and qualifier Munar has hardly been pulling up many trees in recent months, particularly on hard courts, so it feels like an obvious pick.
